I found some examples of existing music magazines to try and get some ideas of the layout i want to use for mine. The first thing i noticed about all of these is that they all use mid shots of the particular band or artist shown.
My favourite colour scheme is 'Spin' as i like the grey background used and it uses plain colours such as red and white for the cover lines, which make the picture stand out more.
I also like the way 'NME' uses colour, and how Lily Allen's outfit matches the masthead and banner at the top and bottom of the page. I think the graphics used are good, as the font is original and looks modern and quirky due to the different sizes, which fits in with the picture taken from a slightly offset angle.
'Q's' use of 'World Exclusive' makes it stand out from the others, especially being the only text in yellow, as this gives it a unique selling point.
These are the sort of ideas i want to incorporate into my magazine.
